Hi, much to share. With medical issues and associated severe pain, have had great success with Tramadol (opioid) for over a decade. Now as many other people who live with severe pain we are being treated like criminals, for responsible taking medication. I have put disability issue blog (Ability Chicago Info) on hiatus since Dec. 2017, I'm tired and with others advocacy is all we have at this point. Will be posting again, but right now I have to deal with issues in own life. - Will be posting again in February 2018, with new content on disability related issues, TY Jim Watkins
